EAGLE PLAINS ANNOUNCES RENEWABLE ENERGY SUBSIDIARY

The board of directors of Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. has formed a separate division within the company that will give Eagle Plains' shareholders direct exposure to strategic opportunities in Canadian green energy transition. As a wholly owned subsidiary of Eagle Plains, Osprey Power Inc. will focus on identifying and advancing innovative and diverse clean energy project portfolios in target markets throughout Canada, with an initial focus on Western Canada.

The key strengths of Osprey Power include:

• Experienced management team -- extensive experience in wind, solar, battery energy storage systems (BESS) and small hydro development;
• Nimble -- flexibility and support to identify and pursue opportunities quickly;
• Innovative -- driven to find new ways to increase project value and advance project portfolios;
• Community focused -- pro-active and transparent communications with neighbours, communities and stakeholders the company works with.

The Osprey Power team will be led by Jared Sproule, BSc, who has over 17 years of experience in project development, market analysis, business development, community engagement, and permitting of wind, solar, hydro, energy storage and transmission projects in various markets throughout North America.

His passion for energy development, with a focus on site prospecting and connecting with landowners and community stakeholders and indigenous communities, has contributed to over one gigawatt of successfully permitted and/or operational renewable energy projects and over three gigawatts of additional projects under various stages of development. Mr. Sproule has previously held positions with TransAlta Corp. as a renewable developer, as a right-of-way planner with AltaLink Management Ltd., lead of business development and community relations at BluEarth Renewables, and, most recently vice-president, project origination, with BW Solar. Mr. Sproule has a BSc in geography from the University of Calgary.

Eagle Plains will continue to focus on its core business model of acquiring and advancing grassroots critical metal and precious metal exploration properties. Eagle Plains' management has recognized synergies between mineral exploration and renewable energy projects in terms of site identification and assessment, stakeholder engagement, and identifying potential partners. Work is under way to launch an independent website containing additional information about Osprey Power.

Chuck Downie, president and chief executive officer of Eagle Plains, stated recently: "As the need for renewable energy options to supply power to the Canadian electrical grid continues to grow, Eagle Plains management is excited to establish what we feel will be a premier supplier of green energy projects.

"Eagle Plains will continue to focus on our successful core business of mineral exploration project generation, which has created the opportunity to provide start-up financial support to Osprey Power, and to support OP to independently develop, market and finance sustainable energy projects. Osprey Power aligns with the Eagle Plains Resources model as it identifies early-stage opportunities and works with developers, independent power producers and communities to advance successful clean power projects."
